Anyone have good recommendations for plugins integrating things like LM Studio or Ollama into Visual Studio or Jetbrains IDEs? I'd like to do more local AI processing on code bases instead of always relying on outside providers, but a lot of these things like Copilot and Cursor seem so well integrated into the IDE.

JetBrains native AI assistant supports Ollama out of the box. No need for a 3rd party plugin anymore.

See https://www.jetbrains.com/help/ai-assistant/use-custom-model...

Copilot in VSCode supports local models through Ollama as well. Not sure about Copilot in Visual Studio. That's one of the most annoying things is VS is always behind VSCode in terms of Copilot features.

How do I get to the point of choosing model API providers (and configure my own) without doing any kind of sign in with Copilot though? I'm looking for everything be offline and not affiliated with some external service at all, even if some free tier.
